Children with low intelligence typically have relatively poor responsiveness to external stimuli and underdeveloped language abilities. They are unable to engage in normal conversation when others communicate with them. Additionally, their motor skills are often impaired; movements may be uncoordinated during walking or play, they may struggle with fine motor tasks, or frequently exhibit excessive, aimless gestures.
